or lose that fine polish the maker gave them if kept clean with a " TOMLINSON 

 CLEANER." It has saved many 4 a barrel from ruin, therefore saved dollars for the 

 owner. It is a neat and inexpensive tool, with brass wire gauze sides (which can be re- 

 placed when worn, for 10 cents a pair) that will remove all lead, rust-spots, and foreign 

 matter with such neatness that you will have no more trouble keeping your gun right. 

 Our ever-increasing business a proof of its value. All dealers or by mail on receipt of 

 price, $1.00. Fits any rod and lasts a lifetime. An extra pair of sides and tool for rag 

 with each. Gauges .8 to .20.
